Ulysse Nardin is a Swiss watch manufacturer in the luxury segment based in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchâtel.


The history
Léonard Frédéric Nardin (* 1792) was the first watchmaker in the family. His son Ulysse (1823-1876) founded a watch factory in Le Locle, Switzerland, in 1846. After the sudden death of its founder, his son Paul David, who was not yet 20 years old, specialized in marine chronometers, among other things, for which they received many awards.

From 1906, the United States Naval Observatory purchased deck watches and pocket watches from Ulysse Nardin until 1942, when Switzerland was isolated from the surrounding occupied countries. As early as 1940, these watches were copied by the American company Hamilton and further developed using industrial methods.

The parent company built pocket watches with complications such as a calendar, moon phase, perpetual calendar, alarm and striking mechanism. Around 1900, around 300 employees worked at the factory. Some of the watches from this period are on display in the Le Locle Watch Museum.

A wristwatch for men in stainless steel with chronograph and automatic winding was launched for the 1936 Summer Olympics.

In 1982 and 1983, the company came close to insolvency. Together with other investors, the Swiss Rolf w. Schnyder, who had previously established factories for (quartz) watch parts in Malaysia, took over the desolate company, in which only two people were still employed. Numerous historically and artistically valuable pieces from the company's own collection had disappeared or been stolen. Within a few years, Schnyder succeeded in bringing the "Ulysse Nardin" brand back into the top echelon of Swiss watch manufacturers. Schnyder's partner and friend, the watch designer Ludwig Oechslin, played a decisive role in this success.

On April 14, 2011, Schnyder passed away unexpectedly after a short illness. "Thanks to the succession plan already in place, the operational management can be continued by the current members of the Executive Board without interruption and in the spirit of Rolf w. Schnyder", the company announced the day after his death.

In 2014, Ulysse Nardin was sold to the French luxury goods group Kering.
